The D'Backs needed to clear a 40-man roster spot after a couple trades. Ahmed will be eligible to return from a fractured hand in late August. Jul 31 - 10:38 PM

Diamondbacks placed SS Nick Ahmed on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured right hand.

Ahmed sustained a small fracture in his right hand after being hit by a pitch in Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. Ketel Marte has been called up and should see the bulk of work at shortstop moving forward, with Chris Owings likely to take on more work in the outfield. Ahmed is expected to miss about two months of action. Jun 28 - 5:06 PM

Nick Ahmed was diagnosed with a small fracture in his right hand after being hit by a pitch Tuesday.

With a DL stint on the way for Ahmed, it looks like Ketel Marte will get a shot in Arizona, which will probably lead to more outfield time for Chris Owings. Jun 28 - 1:34 AM

Nick Ahmed was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals after being hit on the right hand by a pitch.

Ahmed was plunked by a Trevor Rosenthal fastball, which isn't ideal. He left the game pretty quickly and went straight to the clubhouse, where he's surely going to undergo X-rays. Jun 28 - 12:28 AM

Diamondbacks placed INF Chris Owings on the 60-day disabled list with a fractured right middle finger.

Owings suffered the injury when he was hit on the hand by a pitch during Sunday's game. He was set to undergo surgery on Monday, with the expectation that he'll miss eight weeks. The move essentially rules him out through the end of September. It's a real shame, as Owings has enjoyed a breakout year. Ketel Marte should see most of the playing time at shortstop once he returns from the bereavement list, but the newly-acquired Adam Rosales will fill in for now.

He's off to Philadelphia to meet with a specialist. Tomas has been out since the first week of June and there is obviously no timetable for his return at this point. He could very well be done for the year. Tomas, 26, is owed $13.5 million in 2018, $15.5 million in 2019, and $17 million in 2020.

Robbie Ray (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Visalia on Thursday.

Ray got through a 50-pitch simulated game over the weekend with no issues and the Diamondbacks considered re-inserting him right into their rotation. However, they ultimately decided that one rehab start would do him some good. Ray has been out all of August after being hit in the head with a line drive. He'll be back next week assuming Thursday's outing goes well.

The procedure went according to plan, per the Diamondbacks. Miller will miss the remainder of the 2017 season and probably the first half of 2018 as he works his way through the typical 12-15 month rehab process. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA in 24 starts since joining the Diamondbacks ahead of the 2016 campaign.

De La Rosa has been plagued by arm issues all season, logging just 7 2/3 total innings of relief at the major league level. This will be the second Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery of his career and his rehab will likely last through the entire 2018 campaign.
